How bout this? Works on OpenBSD's sh; I assume it works on Free's sh
as well. Might take a while to run, though...

#!/bin/sh

notify () {
    if [ ${VERBOSE} ]; then
	echo "===> $*"
    fi
}

VERBOSE=1
LIST1=/path/to/list1
LIST2=/path/to/list2
LIST3=/path/to/list3
NEWWORDCT=0

if [ ! -f "${LIST3}" ]; then
    touch ${LIST3}
fi

for WORD1 in $(< ${LIST1}); do
    for WORD2 in $(< ${LIST2}); do
	echo "${WORD1}${WORD2}" >> ${LIST3}
	echo "${WORD2}${WORD1}" >> ${LIST3}
	NEWWORDCT=$((NEWWORDCT + 2))
    done
done

sort ${LIST3} | uniq > ${LIST3}-sorted

notify "Created ${NEWWORDCT} new words in file ${LIST3}; a sorted version"
notify "can be found at ${LIST3}-sorted."
